have you heard the story about JACK THE RIPPER?
In the East End's Whitechapel district, a string of prostitutes were
butchered. The crime scenes were a gory tableau; the brutalized bodies
were perversions of the human form. The killer was a collector who took
organs as trophies. The signature of a letter that arrived during the
murders gave this monster a name as Jack the Ripper. The name originated in a letter, written by someone claiming to be the
murderer but somehow the police suspected those letters have been a
hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate attempt
to heighten interest in the story.
He was the brutal serial killer who are not able being caught by the police of Whitechapel district of London in 1888. He only killed the prostitutes. Jack the Ripper killed women he found out on the streets, alone. Most
women out on the Whitechapel streets alone were probably prostitutes,
and prostitutes were easy to talk into secluded spaces, which is what
made them ideal targets. These weren’t women working at high-end brothels, or even low-end
brothels; they were street walkers, beaten down by life and drink. That’s the kind of victims the Ripper was after.
It is difficult today to say the real number of his victims, though it is generally agreed that there were five. The canonical five Ripper victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.
Nichols Grave in City of London Cemetery at Manor Park and her corpse |
Nichols' body was discovered at about 3:40 a.m. on Friday 31 August 1888 in Buck's Row (now Durward Street),
Whitechapel. The throat was severed deeply by two cuts, and the lower
part of the abdomen was partly ripped open by a deep, jagged wound.
Several other incisions on the abdomen were caused by the same knife.
Chapman after being killed |
Chapman's body was discovered at about 6 a.m. on Saturday 8 September 1888 near a doorway in the back yard of 29 Hanbury Street, Spitalfields. As in the case of Mary Ann Nichols, the throat was severed by two cuts. The abdomen was slashed entirely open, and it was later discovered that the uterus had been removed. At the inquest, one witness described seeing Chapman at about 5:30 a.m. with a dark-haired man of "shabby-genteel" appearance
Stride Grave in East London Cemetery and her corpse after the post-mortem |
Stride and Eddowes were killed in the early morning of Sunday 30 September 1888. Stride's body was discovered close to 1 a.m. on Sunday 30 September 1888
by Louis Diemschutz, the steward of the Workers' Club, in the adjacent
Dutfield's Yard. Diemshutz drove into the yard with a pony and
two-wheeled cart, when his horse shied. The yard was so dark that he was
unable to see her body without lighting a match. With blood still flowing from a wound in her neck, it appeared that she was killed just moments before he arrived.
The corpse of Catherine Eddows after the post mortem |
Catherine Eddows Grave in City of London Cemetery at Manor Park |
Eddowes was killed and mutilated in the square between 1.35 and 1.45 a.m. The body was on its back, the head turned to left shoulder. The arms by
the side of the body as if they had fallen there. Both palms upwards,
the fingers slightly bent. A thimble was lying off the finger on the
right side. The clothes drawn up above the abdomen. The thighs were
naked. Left leg extended in a line with the body. The abdomen was
exposed. Right leg bent at the thigh and knee.
The throat cut. Across below the throat was a neckerchief. The
intestines were drawn out to a large extent and placed over the right
shoulder they were smeared over with some feculent matter. A piece of
about two feet was quite detached from the body and placed between the
body and the left arm, apparently by design. The lobe and auricle of the
right ear were cut obliquely through. There was a quantity of clotted
blood on the pavement on the left side of the neck round the shoulder
and upper part of the arm, and fluid blood-coloured serum which had
flowed under the neck to the right shoulder, the pavement sloping in
that direction.
Mary Kelly grave in St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery at Leytonstone |
Mary Kelly was the final canonical victim of Jack the Ripper, and most
likely the last victim, period, of the Whitechapel monster. Because of
this (as well as others reasons) she is by far the most discussed,
analysed and hotly debated among all the Ripper victims.
Aside from being the last victim, she was also the youngest Ripper
victim (she was twenty-five when she was murdered), some of witnesses had stated that Mary is very an attractive and beautiful young lady. She was the only victim killed indoors, the most
horribly mutilated. Her neck was deeply cut, and then her body ripped open and her organs removed. Mary Kelly’s breasts were sliced away
from the chest in a perverse, almost clinical act. Her thighs and
abdomen were carved away. Her internal organs were cut from their
positions and then placed at various points on the bed. Mary Kelly was positively identified later that day by her ex-lover,
Joseph Barnett (by her ears and eyes, as the rest of her face was too
badly mutilated).
Jack the Ripper illustration |
The concentration of the killings at the weekend, and within a few
streets of each other, has indicated to many that the Ripper was
employed during the week and lived locally. Jack the Ripper might be someone who have a capability to handle a sharp knife as the way he had killed those victims by slashed their throat deeply and easily to moved out certain internal organs. He is also a kind of psychotic mentally illness person as he enjoyed killing those victims in brutal ways.
Suspects of being Jack the Ripper |
Suspects proposed years after the murders include virtually anyone
remotely connected to the case by contemporary documents, as well as
many famous names, who were never considered in the police
investigation. Despite the many and varied theories about the identity and profession
of Jack the Ripper, authorities are not agreed on a single solution and
the number of named suspects reaches over one hundred
Even nowadays, Jack the Ripper has becoming a famous brutal serial killer without being known. Even many speculations had made to find Jack the Ripper but still jack the Ripper still being as unknown person. Only those 5 victims that had be killed by Jack the Ripper knew who are Jack the Ripper really was. Their eyes are the only witnesses that can reveal the true identity of Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper maybe had died with the secret that he had hidden by himself.
there is a movie that had related to Jack the Ripper case name
FROM HELL
From Hell is a 2001 American crime, drama, horror, mystery film directed by the Hughes brothers. It is an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell about the Jack the Ripper murders.
This movie is only a fiction movie. The conspiracy that happen in this movie is only one of other speculations that might be happen due to the Jack the Ripper cases. The only person that know what actually the reasons for what Jack the Ripper had done is only Jack the Ripper himself.
